Answer:

The next term in the series is 256

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

The series is:

4 , 12 , 16 , 48 , 64 , 192

If we subtract 12 - 4 = 8

If we subtract 16 - 12 = 4

The difference is not constant then it's not an arithmetic series

If we divide 12 by 4 the answer is 3

If we divide 16 by 12 the answer is 4/3

The ratio is not constant then it's not a geometric series

So lets look to the odd positions 1st , 3rd , 5th, they are:

4 , 16 , 64

16 ÷ 4 = 4

64 ÷ 16 = 4

There is a constant ratio 4 between each 2 consecutive odd position

terms

Lets look to the even positions 2nd , 4th , 6th, they are:

12 , 48 , 192

48 ÷ 12 = 4

192 ÷ 48 = 4

There is a constant ratio 4 between each 2 consecutive even position

terms

Now we can find any term is the series by multiply the previous odd

position by 4 if the term in odd position and multiply the previous

even position by 4 if the term in even position

The next term is in the 7th position, then the next term is:

The number in the 5th position × 4

∵ The number in the 5th position is 64

∴ The number in the 7th position = 64 × 4 = 256

* The next term in the series is 256

Ooh ok these are fun. So these triangles are similar, meaning they are in proportion. In triangle LMN, line LM is 21. To find the corresponding line on the other triangle, we need to find the corresponding letters in the names. Because L and M are the first two letters, we need to use the first two letter s in the other name, so FG. Line FG is 9, so our first proportion is 9/21

If you roll a six-sided dice, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sided dice contains even numbers on three sides and odd numbers on remaining three sides.

Therefore,

Probability of rolling an odd number

$= \frac{3}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2}$

Select all that apply. Which of the following are proportions? 25/10=5/2,3/4=8/10,2/8=3/12,3/4=15/20

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ is not in proportion.

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ is in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is $\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{5}{2}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{25}{10}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5.

The second example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ and it is not in proportion.

This is because, you can not get the simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ after simplification.

The third example is $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 2 and from the fraction $\frac{3}{12}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 3.

The fourth example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{15}{20}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5. (Answer)
